Cythereal Inc

Cythereal Inc’s is a cybersecurity startup. MAGIC (Malware Genomic Correlation) is a unique anti-malware technology that investigates, predicts, and prevents zero-day malware attacks using recent advances in malware analysis technology. MAGIC analyzes malware at the genome level (bytecode) instead of strings or behaviours and auto-constructs YARA rules based on a proprietary ML driven technology. The YARA rules can be fed into existing threat hunting solutions maximizing there efficiency, to hunt variants of malware instead of waiting/searching for IOCs.
MAGIC (Patent Pending) is developed from over a decade of advanced academic research out of University of Louisiana Lafayette and sponsored by the US DoD and DARPA. The thoroughly tested technology can unpack malware strands, search for variants of cluster malware variants into campaigns, assess evasiveness of campaigns, detect and warn for targeted attacks and create YARA rules for hunting variants – all automatically. The YARA rules created are resilient against packing and polymorphism and therefore generate near zero false positives.
Using this new transformative technology, companies can save large amounts of capital and time generally wasted on analyzing specific malware and trying to gather actionable intelligence. Cythereal’s advanced data visualization helps security analysts understand the size and severity of malware campaigns (APTs) and the business areas or even geographies that are being hit in a corporation.
